Three Houmous Recipes

Most weeks I like to make a few different kinds of houmous so that we always have something healthy to eat in sandwiches, salads, etc. so I thought I’d share the recipes for the three houmouses I made this week. (Is that the plural of houmous? I really don’t know!)

This week I made roasted red pepper houmous, beetroot houmous and pesto houmous. I kept the basic recipe very simple (pretty much 1 of everything so that it’s easy to remember) and then added different things for the three different varieties. I make different ones every week, depending on what I have in the fridge, so might do another post next week! These are all oil-free as well, so are lower in fat, but still have good fat from the tahini, and are very nutritious in general. Adding different herbs, spices and veggies boosts the nutritional value, and just adds variety. You can never have too many types of houmous!

I’m not sure if it’s because of being vegan, or eating a healthier diet in general, but I do feel great, I have lots of energy (or at least a lot for raising three kids, haha), I’m very rarely sick, I find it easy to maintain a healthy weight, my skin and hair looks healthy I think, my digestion is great. 🙂 I’m vegan for the animals but do think it’s very healthy as well and the health benefits are great. 🙂 My kids are very healthy too, almost never sick or anything. 🙂
